Re: Russian artillery Id.
Nobody for my last images ?
Well, here another image from Ebay. Is this an 25mm M1940 AA gun ?
I have seen very few wartime images of these guns...

My best guess is that these are Russian 203 MM Brink-Obukhov M1892 in the battery Otchakov. Notice the size of the soldier in the foreground he is much to small in appearance to be standing in front of a 130 mm gun. The Germans later moved them to a former Russian battery at Sevastopol to replace those the Russian spiked.

I guess 203mm Brink-Obukhov M1892 gun is the same that the gun of this link: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNRussi ... _m1892.php
I have not found much information about battery Otchakov, apart of his situation in Berezan island, covering the approaches to Nikoláiev.
I think the image of #241 Post 15 Jun 2019 would be the same gun...
Here, another image from Ebay. I think an 203mm 203mm M1905 Vickers-Obuhov. Is this correct ?

Re: Russian artillery Id.
Hi all,
As can be seen in the photographs, there were 2 different types of barbette-type open mounts for 305mm M1907 L52 coastal guns.
Does anyone have more information on these mounts? I would say that the mount of image 1 seems to be of an older design.
Did they have a different denomination?

Well, Here an image of an 254mm M1891 Soviet coastal gun
Does somebody know how many coastal batteries used this gun in 1940-41 and his localizations ?

Re: Russian artillery Id.
Hi Sturm78,
You actually posted the same picture in 2009 here:

viewtopic.php?p=1332787#p1332787
The answer was provided by ludvig: "modernized 203 / 50 with a new elevation +40"

Re: Russian artillery Id.
Any idea about this gun in a Russian bunker on this German propaganda picture dated 18.10.41?
